Have you ever felt stuck in your most important relationships? Who doesn’t?

Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you just don’t make any real progress?

You’re not alone.

Despite the words of Lennon and McCartney, love is not all you need. Most of us start our relationships feeling in love, hopefully. But over time, that love fades. We fall into the same old troubling patterns and arguments. The same sense of disconnect.

Well, it’s not our fault. It’s not your fault. It’s nobody’s fault.

Half of marriages end in divorce. But you know what? That’s not the bigger issue.

The fact is that only a small percentage of long-term relationships actually thrive. The fact is, if marriage were a corporation, it would be bankrupt. We’d never tolerate that rate of failure in business. Why do we tolerate it in our relationships?

So what’s the real issue?

It’s simple, in my opinion. No one ever taught us how to succeed in relationships. And so we just wing it.

How’s that going to work out?

We’ve never received any education in relationship. And so we struggle.

Think of this. If communication is the heartbeat of relationship, the majority of relationships are on life support.

That’s why I created Uncommon Sense to share the insights, the tools and the breakthroughs that you were never taught.

I’m Mel Schwartz. I’m a psychotherapist and a marriage counselor and an author. And I’ve had over 30,000 hours of experience helping people build stronger, healthier relationships.

Each week on Uncommon Sense, I’ll share the breakthroughs that my clients have experienced which allowed them to thrive in their relationships.

Here’s a small sampling of what’s to come:

You’re going to learn how to break free from mind numbing arguments, how to avoid eight common words that we use in every sentence that block empathy and destroy our emotional intimacy, how to use the five percent rule to turn conflict into connection, how to foam the runway so your words are actually heard by your partner and how you can recreate passion and intimacy and even recover from infidelity, how you can develop emotional and verbal intimacy.

And this is not about quick tips. It’s about building a new foundation for your relationship success, starting with yourself. After all, your relationship with yourself impacts your relationship with others.

So if you’re ready to thrive in life and in love, subscribe to Uncommon Sense wherever you get your podcasts.

Let’s transform your relationships, starting now.
